3. Pin Assignment and Description
The DM556 has two connectors, connector P1 for control signals connections, and connector P2 for
power and motor connections. The following tables are brief descriptions of the two connectors.
More detailed descriptions of the pins and related issues are presented in section 4, 5, 9.
Important
NOTE
：
The driver must be mounted vertically
onto a plate or a heat sinking to maximize heat sink area as
shown in the above picture. Please use additional heat
sinking or cool fan if necessary.

PUL+
PUL-
Pulse signal: In single pulse (pulse/direction) mode, this input represents pulse
signal, each rising or falling edge active (software configurable); 4-5V when
PUL-HIGH, 0-0.5V when PUL-LOW. In double pulse mode (pulse/pulse) ,
this input represents clockwise (CW) pulse
，
active both at high level and low
level (software configurable). For reliable response, pulse width should be
longer than 2.5
μ
s. Series connect resistors for current-limiting when +12V or
+24V used. The same as DIR and ENA signals.
DIR+
DIR-
DIR signal: In single-pulse mode, this signal has low/high voltage levels,
representing two directions of motor rotation; in double-pulse mode (software
configurable), this signal is counter-clock (CCW) pulse
，
active both at high
level and low level (software configurable). For reliable motion response, DIR
signal should be ahead of PUL signal by 5
μ
s at least. 4-5V when DIR-HIGH,
0-0.5V when DIR-LOW. Please note that rotation direction is also related to
motor-Driver wiring match. Exchanging the connection of two wires for a coil
to the Driver will reverse motion direction.
ENA+
ENA-
Enable signal: This signal is used for enabling/disabling the Driver. High level
(NPN control signal, PNP and Differential control signals are on the contrary,
namely Low level for enabling.) for enabling the Driver and low level for
disabling the Driver. Usually left
UNCONNECTED (ENABLED)
.
Selecting Active Pulse Edge and Control Signal Mode
The DM556 supports PUL/DIR and CW/CCW modes and pulse actives at rising or falling edge. See
more information about these settings in Section 13. Default setting is PUL/DIR mode and rising
edge active (NPN, and PNP control signal is on the contrary).
